Chase's benefit terms include this misleading sentence:
Ultimate Rewards points are earned on The Edit stays. The exclusion applies only to $250 directly offset by the credit.
Any amount above $250 charged to your CSR earns 8x points.
You can split the payment for Edit bookings between cash and points - you can charge $250 to your CSR to get The Edit credit and cover the remaining balance with UR points at a rate of somewhere between 1.6 and 2 cpp. No points are earned when payment is done this way.
Any purchases that qualify for the $500 Credit for stays with The Edit will not earn points.
Any amount above $250 charged to your CSR earns 8x points.

Just a question that has not occurred to me before because I haven't managed to book an Edit stay outside the US until now. Is the $100 property credit always in USD? I assume that it probably is because everything else in Edit is but wanted to check if anyone has seen anything different. I just booked the Fairmont in Ottawa for 3 rooms so it is quite a difference between $300 CAD and $300 USD.
When you check in, they will tell you how much credit you get.
On my recent trip last week, it converted to roughly $117.

It's "always" $100 USD. However, since everything is charged in local currency, that means properties get to convert that into a local currency equivalate. Sometimes that benefits you, and sometimes you lose in the conversation.

Technically not always $100 USD some properties offer exceeds this figure but is USD based always.
When I stayed via the Edit at the Regent Hong Kong it was a $300 USD credit, not sure if still the same now but probably has not changed.. Same as SP03 describes the stated amount is based on USD but converted to local currency so you may get plus/minus 10% or so.

Would welcome any advice on my current predicament trying to book an Edit property for January through Chase Travel using my new Sapphire Reserve Business card. Trying to book the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, in St. Moritz, Switzerland, for a six night stay next January. The property closes each year for a few weeks in August/September to transition to ski season. I can't find any availability through the Chase portal for any dates after the September closure. The Kempinski website offers plenty of availability, as do the major commercial portals, Amex Platinum Travel, etc., although Kempinski offers better rates than the others. But when I try to book through Chase, it says "Rate Unavailable. Try Again Later or Choose Another Property." I've tried calling Chase Travel, and they try booking manually and come back and say things like "yes, we can see there are rooms available, and we can see rates, but we aren't able to access that inventory, sorry."
I want to book using Chase Sapphire because I want to take advantage of the rate guarantee (so that Chase will match the Kempinksi rate) and to hit my required $20k spend in the first two months of having the card to earn the 150k bonus. Plus 8 points per mile on a booking that will add up to $10k or so isn't nothing. Anyone have any helpful insights?

Stayed in Bali - recently on an Edit stay but of the 12 or so properties that claim to be Edit ones at most 6 showed up on any of the dates I was searching. Despite none of the other hotels being sold out or did not have availability elsewhere. I was traveling during a shoulder season not high season.
Hanoi, Vietnam for my dates the Edit only showed the Capella - which is really high priced IMO as available even though there were a couple other more reasonable quality hotels listed as Edit properties and available on other sites for the same dates.
Chase or the properties are controlling the release/availability so nothing you can do and it may or may not become available.
Below is my opinion only:
in the case of Bali I feel the site was keeping the lower cost options as unavailable on lower cost dates and those "edit" properties are only Edit properties in high season when their rates are more in line with other Edit properties or possibly they revolve the options so there is not an excess of choice for a small area.

Just an anecdote.
We're staying in Lisbon for four nights in April 2027 and I decided on an EDIT hotel. As I only had one $250 credit available, I split the reservation into two two-night reservations with the intention of rebooking the second two-night stay next year to make use of a new credit. I've been keeping tabs on the rates and it's now double what I booked it for! If that holds when 2027 comes around, it won't be worth rebooking and I'll have to figure another use for those credits, but I'm sure glad I took the precaution of booking early.

It's not that it won't be available through Chase Travel but it won't be available via the Edit hotel program. The Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski that jkirk would like to book, I do see it available in December and January via Chase Travel if I book it under my Ink Preferred card but it's just a regular hotel booking, not from Edit that comes with Edit benefits. If I switch to search under my CSR card, this hotel doesn't show up as an option at all.

You can only get the benefits and $250 Edit credit though if you book it under the CSR so it shows up as an Edit hotel. Thus it really doesn't make any difference if you see it when logged in under another card or not. The point is that right now they aren't making it available to the Edit program and you can wait and see if they decide to change that or not.

OK, but the thing is I don't care about the $250 edit credit (which I can claim on some other booking), or the benefits (breakfast is already included, and i don't care much about an upgrade either way). I want to get the minimum spend in for the 150k bonus, and I really want to be able to use the price match guarantee.

Yes, a very frustrating thing about the reserve that if it is an Edit hotel and doesn't have Edit availability, then it has no availability. Matters for cases like yours for spend needs and for multipliers for booking through Chase travel. One of the relatively few advantages of the card (high chase travel multipliers) and they make it unavailable for many of the higher priced hotels

This is not 100% correct. If it has no Edit availability then it won't show up as available under CSR or CSRB. However, it can and will show up in Chase Travel when searching under other cards. As I mentioned in my post directly above yours, I can pull up the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski for January 2027 under my Ink Preferred and book it as a regular non Edit hotel.
They can still pay for the hotel using their CSR to meet spend for their SUB and earn 8x since it's still a Chase Travel booking even if it's booked as non Edit because all Chase travel bookings earn 8x if charged to a CSR, not only Edit bookings.

to the OP: do you have price match on your account? I havent searched for a bit, but I did not see anything about price-match on my account last time I checked - so far as Im aware, price match has not rolled out globally yet, and only applies to limited accounts, so make sure you have it if you are trying to use it.
